Whatcha watching?

I'm being self indulgent and watching one I worked on and it's NUTS. Tollywood/Bollywood film on Amazon Prime (currently #1 on Prime Video in India! - not in all countries yet but it is in the US).
I'm in the trailer (the part at the gas station).
Got to play an extreme villain part which is always fun:

Looks like something I don't usually watch. Always good to leave the preconceptions behind. Got NAD right now but expect I'll make time for EAGLE over the next couple of days.
First 5 minutes look like it moves along at a fair old pace.

I really liked that movie. I'd found some of the soundtracks online first, ran across the movie later. One song I really like from that movie is The Chairman's Waltz.:
Been showing alot of old and vintage films, American and foreign, on cable TV lately. Fine with me, 'cause I'm mostly (not totally) tired of more current American offerings.
Recently watched Never On Sunday (1960 Greek rom-com) and Babette's Feast (1987 Danish comedy drama). Will be watching Mon Oncle (1958 French comedy) later. This one features a character I like, Monsieur Hulot (Jacques Tati), that I saw in another French comedy film Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953).
I'll be interested to know what you think. It's also far outside of my usual frame of reference but clearly well made - though Bollywood has very different sensibilities - and, yes, there is dancing! Fairly universal story with the hero being a warrior/defender of common people ala Seven Samurai, etc. I enjoyed it.
Intriguing. Def on my list.
...as is this! Is that you with the eye thing?

Attempted to watch Thanksgiving on Netflix. I don't know what has happened to Eli Roth as a director. I had high hopes for this one since I loved the fake trailer concept from the Grindhouse releases, but I bailed out around the 20 min mark. What could have been a grimy tribute to 80s slasher movies is instead a crappy teen horror effort with no redeeming qualities.
This movie always brings back some of my best kid memories as I was living this!
I was living in San Diego, Pacific Beach in the early '60. My first skateboard was a Hobbie Super Surfer, like this with clay wheels...
We moved to Hawaii and someone stole it

Clay wheels? Wow.
That's how they started. At the time it was clay or steel wheels. The clay wheels were on your better skates at the time like Chicago skates. Things like Kryptonics we're not in use for at least another 10 years or so.
I don't take my moves from Bollywood. But I don't fear dancing. I've been told there are 7 stories and that's it. Expect that number depends on how far you want to reduce things. But, people being people, I'd be surprised if Hindi came up with a wildly different number.
This is how we rolled
Yup!
I lived about two blocks from the ocean.
That kneeling thing on the skateboard was something we copied from watching the surfers from our neighborhood.

My kids saw me do street and downhill skating in my Chicago skates with California breaks and Kryptonics Red wheels. Never saw me skateboard though.Did a lot of sidewalk surfin'. Broke a lot of bones
My grandson doesn't believe that I did any of that, because I'm old and fat. I told him he won't believe that he did it when he gets old and fat like me.
